All Good Stuff Except Rand Paul Wants To Prevent Lynching From Being A Hate Crime Because He Can Get Away With It

I missed "The Seven Last Words of the Unarmed" when it debuted a month after Señor Trumpanzee was sworn in. Composed by Joel Thompson, it featured a guest appearance by the University of Michigan Men’s Glee Club. It was meant to honor the lives of Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant, Eric Garner, Kenneth Chamberlain, Amadou Diallo, and John Crawford.

Obviously, it is very much needed once again. While you listen (above), keep in mind that a trio of Fox News polls released yesterday show Trump losing must-win Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. That follows Fox News polls showing Trump losing Florida and Michigan. And today's North Carolina poll.

You might also take comfort in knowing that a conservative Virginia governor, Ralph Northam (D), announced today that the state will remove "an iconic statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from Richmond’s prominent Monument Avenue. Overcome with emotion, Norfolk Del. Jay Jones said the massive statue "is a symbol for so many people, black and otherwise of a time gone by of hate and oppression and being made to feel less."

One step forward... Kentucky racist pig Rand Paul was exposed as the senator blocking an anti-lynching bill that would make lynching a hate crime.

National Journal's Zach Cohen reported that "The fact that Congress is still struggling to respond to the past atrocities of lynching black people highlights how difficult it will be for Washington to deal with misuse of police force and outrage over police officers killing unarmed black Americans. Everyone seems to agree lynching is terrible and must be condemned and outlawed, but not specifically on how to do it." Umm... but not everybody. All Paul's arguments are baseless; he just wants to kill the bill to please his KKK supporters back home.
